OK, I have not investigated where the problem is. The tarball is here

http://download.rsyslog.com/rsyslog/tmp.tar.gz

Note that this is a temporary tarball which may be overwritten pretty soon. Please let me know if that works for you.

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

no problem, ill try it out and let you know

ok, i ran it again, here is the result up utnil the point where i stopped the process.

ah, that's interesting. let me dig a bit deeper...

the forum seems to be cutting off long cut and paste threads, so heres the remainder of the log

MODERATOR EDIT: removed info not needed for analysis (to keep thread slim)

Oops, sorry, usually I place a "mod edit" at the bottom if I do that... Actually, I cut the post, because the rest of the info was not relevant but cluttered the thread. Will do that for the other post, too. New version is currently uploading...

tmp.tar.gz is now replaced. Please download the fresh copy and run it. It has one more debug info item.

Thanks,
Rainer

oh ok let me know when its there

MODERATOR EDIT: removing unnecessary data to keep thread slim...

OK, can you please comment out line 311 (--nfds) of plugins/imudp/imudp.c (that is, place two slashes in front of it "// --nfds.."). Then please rerun and post results.

excellent. works 100%
what was the problem?

Actually, an invalid order of statements. The loop was terminated before it pulled from all file descriptors, thus select was immediately awakend ... and so on. I have now created an "official" patch, can you please try a new tmp tarball (I have updated it). I think it works but would like to double-check. It will then be part of 4.1.3, probably released tomorrow. But of course you can use this version if it works for you

Download link once again:

http://download.rsyslog.com/rsyslog/tmp.tar.gz

Please let me know the result.

All others: the patch is now integrated in the git master branch.

Thanks,
Rainer

seems to work fine.

Excellent, thanks for the confirmation. So this will be rolled into 4.1.3.

great, ill use 4.1.3 until it comes out.
